Text of the page (random words):
ing of the season i would like to report that we did well but we didn t anywhere but canton il that first time show rocked so that part of my life is also being re evaluated i did not order new chicks this year it s time to take a break from the twice a day going to the barn and worrying about the wild life and the weather and all that stuff there are on going discussions about tearing the barn down and building my own workshop but tonight that may have also been shelved i did submit some photos to a book 1 000 beads which will be out in april 2014 everyone i know will be very sick of seeing me carrying around my copy i looked at lampwork etc a forum that i belong to but rarely look at these days and i can tell you that there are some really cool lampwork beads that are included in that book i am humbled to be included the family went to san francisco for five days that was an adventure i would love to go back again someday i joined the electronic age am typing on my brand new ipad air with blue tooth keyboard i would hope that i can now take some pictures and get them posted to the blog more often so stay tuned to see what s next in the adventures of twisted chicken beads etc leave a comment posted in gardening lampwork tagged beads chickens csa gardening lampwork twisted chicken saturday march 30 bead soup blog hop reveal mar 29 here s the day when all the really cool pieces of art work are revealed to the world i was really lucky to be paired with dana james who by the way was recently published in step by step wire jewelry her gallery photo link and i was the recipient of one of those really cool pendants here are the pictures of what i sent dana taken by dana cause i was so excited i put them in the mail before taking the picture twisted chicken color set earth tone set i sent two sets cause i could the bright color one is one of my favorite set of beads colors to work with lampwork whimsey and happiness after looking at dana s website i decided to send a second set of earth tone beads that were left over truly a soup rather than selected just for her visit her website here be sure to visit her blog to see what she made with these beads so i received the following from her stones crystal and chain handmade clasp and the pendant there were also some great silks three colors the finished design only included one of the silks but i have some new beads that are just begging to be put with those silks last night todd helped me with the new camera and i may actually start posting pictures now for the confession i have help with my design work and color choices from merrell hickey she manages to include colors that i would have never put together but the finished product is always fabulous and i love it this one in particular is just grand from earlier posts you know that we had major room changes over winter break my craft room has been moved to the basement while the kids have their bed rooms put all back together my craft stuff is still kind of all over the house because i want to go through it before i put it in the craft room so as i have been going through things i have found unloved beads and i had a stash to give to merrell in that were some lampwork beads that i made a really really really long time ago petrolium green and red well in merrell s words they play well with these beads over here and wow did they ever there are also some more current beads like the half bicone on either side of the pendant and where the chain attaches to the strung piece pendant up close the up close photo shows dana s great pendant and we added some parts that were in the soup and some of my lampwork beads dangling off the bottom indoor photo my favorite photo my favorite photo was taken on a really old outdoor picnic table see the snow in the left hand corner just as the sun was going down and i did manage to get some help from houdini the one eyed cat houdini helping with the photos and so ends my adventure with the bead soup blog hop i hope everyone enjoys the pictures and be sure to check out the others who are participating you can find a list of all the blogs here though i m pretty sure that no one has such a handsome helper as houdini and here is the link to dana s post she did a great job on turning a lampwork bead into one of her cool pendants and the bright colors pop on the bracelet 46 comments

holidays all of my stuff out of the room sara s stuff in tyler s stuff into sara s old room and in theory my stuff into tyler s old room i ve been taking my time that s my excuse and i m sticking to it to organize as i put things away getting rid of things i haven t used and probably won t use as i touch them i found some long ago made and much unloved lampwork beads that i was going to gift to my friend merrell i was also asking her to help me design something with my bead soup you will all be amazed that the beads were perfect to match to the soup mix i received merrell took all of it to her workshop do you see elves with little hammers and transformed it into a wonderful piece of jewelry and i do promise pictures but not until 03 30 13 teaser alert in farming news last week i managed not to burn down the barn i came home wednesday i think came in the house as always checked the mail changed my clothes went to the barn wondered what that odd smell was and figured that the neighbors were burning something turned out my heat lamp had fallen probably about the time i pulled into the garage and straw trapped under the metal was starting the smolder i haven t had it plugged in since i m a little weirded out about how close that was i have managed to sprout two flats of 72 cells of lettuce each a different kind and planted one flat of 48 of peppers that one hasn t sprouted yet i m thinking of bringing in a heat mat to give it a boost but since the heat lamp incident i really want to be home the whole day to keep an eye on it maybe sunday leave a comment posted in lampwork

beads twisted chicken twistedchicken vintages tasting room wine sunday february 3 2013 feb 3 i m busy procrastinating on my book work stuck in april 2012 so my web store hosting bill came via e mail

site shameless plug i sent her a thank you and asked if there was a cheetah taped to her back apparently she hasn t seen that commercial have no idea what it s for and almost spewed tea all over her computer in another time day this would have taken much longer to transpire than the 10 minutes it took today i also threw myself into the bead soup blog party and seem to have gotten the link on the right side of my screen i tell ya the things i have to learn and lori anderson bless her soul is the one that coordinates this huge blog party and keeps apologizing for not getting things done quickly really look a chicken i don t understand why she would feel that way look a really pretty bead that i need to do something with right now i mean i m getting my book work done see note above about april have been stuck there for look knitting you get my drift even planning coffee with someone can seem to be a huge deal these days and why is that i m pushing spring to come as soon as possible i brought in some seed starting mix and planted about 20 little pots of spinach seeds see note about book work and april again they have begun to sprout and today started three more little pots of cilantro if you can imagine the cilantro in the hoop house yes some nights have gotten down to zero finally is not looking too bad for this time of year apparently tho we want it to be a warm weather

good about posting i so hate to turn on the computer after i ve sent the day at the computer at work and i enjoy what i m doing at work just don t want home to feel like work and yesterday s excuse was that i went to the eye doctor and had my eyes dilated had a head ache and couldn t see so went out to melt some glass actually that turned out pretty well i ve made some head pins glass on the end of some steel wire the first couple i made a couple weeks ago were just drops on either end of about 3 inches of wire after about three it occurred to me that i could make them flat and add a second color so they looked more like my kinda work yesterday i made some more and i m going to see what kind of earrings they turn into stay tuned today annette is coming over and we are going to put kits together for viking knit classes at vintages in galesburg and the artisan s next door in fort madison ia check out the facebook page for the official event notices we love traveling to see old friends

mcdaniel anderson one of the official bead soup hops these look like fun and am excited to see what i receive and what the person i send my soup to does with it i m guessing it will probably include
